As we enter the Mâconnais, we enter southern Burgundy.
The "Pouilly-Fuissé" AOC was created by decree in September 1936. The vineyards cover the slopes of the famous Solutré Rock (a prehistoric site) and Vergisson Rock, overlooking Mâcon and the Bresse plain. |

Visual: beautifully intense yellowish gold.
Nose: rich and intense with aromas of butter, well-integrated oak, and apricot.
Palate: a powerful wine with a great deal of finesse. Lovely complexity with flavours of apricot and toast. This wine gradually reveals all of its roundness and fullness. The finish is long with a touch of lime. A remarkably well-balanced wine. |

This wine is the perfect match for white meats, such as roasted quail. Serve well chilled, between 10 and 12°C.
This wine may be enjoyed in its youth or cellared for 2 to 5 years. |
